Pass/Fail

After regular registration is over, a student who wishes to change a regular graded course to Pass-Fail may do so by:

1. Printing the Change of Registration form now or picking up a form for the change in InfoCentral or the Registrar’s Office.
2. Having the appropriate instructor and academic adviser sign the form.
3. Returning it to InfoCentral or the Registrar’s Office no later than the deadline date to add classes each term.

No fee is required for this change. The deadline for changing a course back to the regular grading system is the same as the deadline for adding classes.

Instructors turn in a letter grade on all courses except the strictly Pass-Fail courses. If a student has registered for a course on the Pass-Fail basis, the instructor turns in the letter grade that the student has earned, and it is changed to "P" if the grade is an "A," "B," or "C." An "F" is recorded if the grade is a "D" or "F." "P" grades do not affect a student’s grade point average, but are added into earned hours. "F" grades are figured into the GPA.

Students may elect to take up to a total of 24 semester hours of graded work on the pass-fail basis; however, no more than two graded courses may be taken pass-fail during any one semester. Pass/Fail is not permitted in the following areas:

• All required Science and Mathematics courses for Science and Mathematics majors.
• Psychology courses for Psychology majors
• All courses required in the Nursing major for Nursing majors
• Music courses for Music majors
• All required courses in the Information Technology major

• All courses used to fulfill requirements for a major in Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Information Technology, or International Business with the exception of internships.
• All courses used to fulfill requirements for a major in Sociology, Sociology (Human Services), or Sociology (Criminal Justice) with the exception of internships
